I AM AN ID JUNKIE!



I AM AN (I.D.) INVESTIGATION DISCOVERY JUNKIE!
How times have changed. Only some short years ago I used to be terrified to watch Unsolved Mysteries or any true crime TV. The very second I heard the Unsolved Mysteries theme song or heard Robert Stack's creepy voice, I ran to change the channel. Now, I'm totally addicted to every single true crime, serial killer, twisted murder mystery show that I can get my hands on. I just love the drama and the mystery of it all. How incredible science and forensics is. How far we have come in our scientific and biological evolution. How really sick and twisted the human mind can be. I love the "who done it" twists and turns mysteries.

Don't get me wrong, I still love my Paranormal shows and can't get enough, but I'm now an avid and highly addicted ID junkie and proud of it!!!! 

YOU'LL DANCE TO ANYTHING

YOU'LL DANCE TO ANYTHING
I love this classic song from the 80's and have the CD single. It pokes fun at the new wave subculture at the time. The lyrics are clever and funny and in a lot of ways, true..lol

A lot of the greats are credited like: SIOUXSIE, The Communards, Book of Love The Smiths, Depeche Mode Sk, Public Image Limited and Naked Truth (which I never heard of). I looked them up and they were a local US band that The Dead Milkmen must have personally known. They were not New Wave, more rock, sort of alternative, from the 60's but hit bigger in the 80's. Technically, mentioning them in the song was a bit strange because they were not European, and that was the main political slant of the track, as they eloquently display in the closing lyrics of the song.

"You'll dance to anything by any bunch of stupid Europeans who come over here
with their big hairdos intent on taking our money instead of giving your
cash, where it belongs, to a decent American artist like myself!"

DEAD MILKMEN LYRICS
"Instant Club Hit (You'll Dance To Anything)"

You'll dance to anything [x4]

Oh, baby, look at you
Don't you look like Siouxsie Sioux
How long'd it take to get that way
What a terrible waste of energy
You wear black clothes say you're poetic
The sad truth is you're just pathetic
Get into the groove just get out of my way
I came here to drink not to get laid
So why don't you just go on home
'Cause if you want to moan you'll have to moan alone

You'll dance to anything [x2]

Don't try to tell me that you're an intellectual
Cause you're just another boring bisexual
"I met Andy Warhol at a really chic party"
Blow it out your hairdo 'cause you work at Hardees
80 pounds of make up on your art school skin
80 points of I.Q. located within

Know what you are? You're a bunch of ...
Artfags! Artfags! Artfags! Artfags!
Choke on this you dance-a-teria types!

You'll dance to anything by The Communards
You'll dance to anything by Book of Love
You'll dance to anything by The Smiths
You'll dance to anything by Depeche Mode
You'll dance to anything by Public Image Limited
You'll dance to anything by Naked Truth
You'll dance to anything by any bunch of stupid Europeans who come over here
with their big hairdos intent on taking our money instead of giving your
cash, where it belongs, to a decent American artist like myself!

You'll dance to anything!

MOVIE REVIEW: SCARECROW (2013)

STICKS AND STONES MAY BREAK YOUR BONES BUT EVIL SCARECROWS WILL KILL YOU!

Sometimes Syfy does it right with their killer monster movies. Though "Scarecrow" was nothing special, I still really enjoyed it. If you are not a fan of CGI, you will most probably hate this movie. It's a CGI's fan's wet dream. However, I really think it works. Instead of a traditional looking killer Scarecrow ( which has already been done to death) this "Scarecrow" is a really cool looking monster.

The plot, like most Syfy monster movies, is very simple and to the point.

A young woman Kristen (Lacey Chabert "Black Christmas (2006), Family Guy (TV Series) 
Meg Griffin / Jan Brady and a ton of Lifetime and Hallmark Channel Holiday movies) returns to her small hometown, only to find that a family curse that was supposedly long dead and buried, is back to continue to wipe out her family's lineage. What seemed like an innocent, detention day trip, will be their last, for a group of unsuspecting high school kids.

The legend of the Scarecrow is true and is seeking it's bloody revenge. It will kill anything or anyone that stands in the way of it taking young Kristen's life.

One by one, the Scarecrow slices and dices through her ex boyfriends and the innocent school children.

When only Kristen and the Scarecrow remain, it is a bloody battle until the very end.

By the way, if the only way the Scarecrow can die, is to be buried, then I guess the Scarecrow isn't really dead?

Who knows if Syfy plans on making a sequel or not? I'd probably watch it as I really enjoyed this one.

There is of course a gaggle of sexy male eye candy like Aaron (Robert Dunne, "Dawson's Creek, Sanctuary (TV Series) and Defiance (TV Series) Eddie (Carlo Marks "Smallville (TV Series) and Daevon (Reilly Dolman "Goblin" and Supernatural (TV Series). 

Again "Scarecrow" is nothing that special, that you haven't already seen ad nauseam in many Syfy and Chiller TV , monster movies, but I can say, it was definitely one of the better ones.

MOVIE REVIEW: DARK RIDE


I SAW THIS MOVIE BEFORE, IT WAS CALLED THE FUNHOUSE
I guess there really is not much left in the way of originality in Hollywood these days. Even though "Dark Ride" is from 2006, "The Funhouse" was from 1981. They basically took the idea of "The Funhouse" and just added the escaped mental patient angle, which by the way, was also stolen from the horrendous remake of "Black Christmas" , ironically released in the same year 2006. In fact, the scene in the mental institution, where the orderlies are taunting the "monster" has been done ad nauseum. Basically everything else was ripped off from Dean Koontz (Owen West)' s 1980 novel "The Funhouse" which was made into an instant horror classic by Texas Chainsaw Massacre's Tobe Hooper. Though arguably, the book "The Funhouse" by Dean Koontz (Owen West) is far better than the movie and quite frankly, makes more sense. I feel that Tobe Hooper really missed the boat on making "The Funhouse" everything that it could have been, by omitting so much of the backstory and yet leaving all of these loose ends and unanswered questions. That being said, I still think it is a horror/slasher classic. i would love to see someone properly remake "The Funhouse", base it more on Dean Koontz (Owen West)'s book and not the movie. But I digress... " Dark Ride" even featured a character called "Liz" just like in the "The Funhouse".
Unlike " The Funhouse" this was a very noticeable and cheap knockoff. A group of friends decide to spend the night in a Funhouse and they die at the hands of a masked monster.. There is a creepy old barker, there is the story of two brothers, one was a Mongoloid ( just like Gunther in "The Funhouse". They slightly spun that one a bit. Instead of the other brother being dead in a jar, as in "The Funhouse", the other brother was alive and just happened to be one of their friends. His revelation that he was the brother of the serial killing, murderous, mask wearing psychopath, was supposed to be the surprising, red herring, plot twist. However, it wasn't as you saw it coming from a mile away. Also, ( HUGE continuity issue) the fact that he said he was related to the twin teenage girls in the beginning (his cousins) made absolutely no sense? Especially because the twin girls clearly did not know him or the barker and had never been on the "Dark Ride" before.
Besides the whole plot being stolen and regurgitated, "Dark Ride" was a long trip into snooze town. You'd be much better off spending your precious time, watching a true horror classic like "The Funhouse" than wasting your time watching a cheap and pathetic knock off like "Dark Ride".
The worst part, was that it really wasn't intense or even remotely scary.
For me, the biggest draw, was the super hot and sexy David Clayton Rogers (Nashville (TV Series),Jane by Design (TV Series) , and the gay camp Boys Life 4: Four Play ). It also featured Jamie-Lynn Sigler (Guys with Kids (TV Series) ,Ugly Betty (TV Series) ,The Sopranos (TV Series) and Entourage (TV Series) .
If you are going to take a "Dark Ride" into horrortown, you might want to look for another ride.

CATFISH WILL BREAK YOUR HEART

CATFISH WILL BREAK YOUR HEART
I have seen the hit TV show on MTV "Catfish" many times. It's crazy and chaotic but pretty enjoyable. Though, I never watched it religiously, there's just not enough time in the day to watch everything I'd like to watch. As it is, my 1 TB DVR is at 93% . I always hear the gorgeous Nev or Max referring to the movie but never had a chance to see it. When it was on today, I decided to tape and watch it. "Catfish" is not a movie, per se, it is more of a real life, documentary. I'll be honest with you, at first I thought that it was this long and boring piece of crap but then it got crazy and interesting, just like the TV show (though the movie came first). When I watch the TV show or even the movie, I think "wow, how can anybody be that stupid"? I then remember that I myself, have been catfished in different ways, on a few separate occasions. In fact, one was so bad that the guy actually faked his own death. This was ages ago, in the early 90's. That guy, was a sick and twisted f@‪#‎K‬. But, I digress.
Once Nev started questioning things that seemed a bit off, it was all downhill from there. Nev knew that he was being deceived but he was not sure to what degree. The innocent film that Nev's brother set out to make about a talented 8 year old artist "Abby", quickly took a mysterious and sinister turn. Just when you think you had it all figured out, the real Megan or should I say, Angela ? threw Nev for another loop. When Nev finally meets and confronts Angela the real truth, or at least, most of it, comes pouring out. Angela's family and her personal story, will literally have you in tears. I cried so much. Warning: there is no happy ending. It is all very sad. Deception is not proud or pretty. It is sad, lonely and heartbreaking.
I really feel that people need to not only see films like "Catfish" but they need to truly experience them. It is devastating to think about how many lonely and desperate people are out there in the world. Afraid or ashamed to be themselves. Hiding behind fantasies and mysterious personas, in a futile attempt to be something better than they are today. "Catfish" will hit home for anybody who has ever wanted to be someone else, even for a day. After watching "Catfish" I feel like my views on catfishers has changed. Instead of thinking of them as pathetic losers, I have more compassion and empathy for them. It's awful when you hate yourself or your life so much, that you have create a fantasy world in order to survive. In the movie, Angela's husband Vince, explained catfishing the best.
I think, to some degree, there's a little catfish in us all.
My heart goes out to Angela, Vince and their family.
